Cards like this are strange in a game that doesn’t use a sideboard. Will be helpful in a number of games, but the meta isn’t 100% Pirate Warrior or Jade Shaman (if it was, these deck types would be nerfed to death soon). Seeing how streamlined decks are in ranked play, it just feels strange to add a card that is often a dead play, even compared to similar cards. (Acidic Ooze costs less and can increase board presence easier. Harrison has a reasonable body even without his ability doing something.)

This is such a stupid card. Just because they don’t balance they need to print cards like this. A really bad card that immediately wins you the game if you play against a certain deck. It’s exactly the same as the crab. I miss the time when the good decks (patron warrior) were actually hard to play, involving decisions and calculations and it wasn’t based on lucky cards.

Reno is the exact same. It’s not skillfully played, you either have the card in your hand or you don’t, which is pure luck. Why can’t blizzard stop making these countercards that involve 0 skill and start balancing.

not really, patron warrior had a lot of draw, which countered the randomness. Now I don’t say that it wasn’t too strong, but it was a hunderd times less cancerous than facewarrior. And yes, it was hard to play. I won more games against it than I lost and I even saw dog miss lethal twice in one tournament game.

Hmm I doubt it. Pro players who have used Patron tend to say that it’s high skill cap is why they loved the deck. Sure, it could be played decently with average skill, but as opposed to pirate warrior (1) it did not play itself, and (2) as your skill and exprince with the deck increased, so would your win rate.

I never tried out Patron because I was new to the game right before it got nerfed, and I hated it for the time it was viable. However, in hindsight I think it’s very unfortunate that these types of competative high skill cap decks are now almost completely extinct.

Seriously……. This game is all about luck. I can win twenty games on the bounce and lose thirty in the next session with the same deck. Its all about what you draw into. Ever played poker? Jeeze….. Skill is not misplaying, that’s it. Not particularly challenging really…… I can’t count the number of games I’ve lost or won off a flukey top deck. Get over yourself…. Get lucky.
